Since 1997, education has been a top priority for the Government. Recognising the need to raise standards at all levels in order to meet the competitive challenges facing a globalised 21st century economy, the government has initiated unprecedented change, and sought improved performance at all levels. Some of the recent key initiatives include:

• Improving outcomes for children and young people through integrated and personalised services.
• Investing in schools' infrastructure and curriculum development.
• Increasing access to and success rates from Higher Education.
• Building a well educated, motivated workforce to drive the UK’s future economic prosperity.

Meeting these changes presents new and exciting challenges for us all. At Deloitte our education and children’s services practice helps local, regional and national organisations across the education sector to address these challenges and raise standards for our future.
